Question

The purpose of a letter of application(求职信)is to help you to“sell”yourself. It should state　　the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have　　. It should be simple, human, personal and brief without　　out any necessary facts.

In writing a letter of application, keep in　　that the things a possible employer is most　　to want to know about are your qualifications(条件), your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. 　　the first few sentences fail to　　the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be　　at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not　　your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your　　in today’s newspaper”, you might say“I have made a careful　　of your advertising during the past six months”or“I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives　　your product and why they like it. ”

Try to　　generalities(概述). Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now　　. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask“What can I　　in a letter? Employers want experience—which, naturally, no　　has. ”The answer is that everything you have ever done is　　.

It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 　　a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent　　is to enclose(内附)a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it　　for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
